Real Weddings | Maren & Theodore, Part I

Last month, we were absolutely delighted to work with Maren and Theodore.  They met taking a ballroom dance class just for fun, started competing in dance compititions together, and ended up falling in love with each other - it was meant to be!  You could say, they will dance off into the sunset together....... in fact, they entered the reception room in perfect ballroom form!  To add little something special to their wedding day, they had a dance instructor for anyone who wanted a dance lesson after their first dance!

Maren has such a wonderful and kind spirit; we can see why Theodore is obviously smitten.  We are in love with their photos, taken by Caleb Jamin Studios, and couldn't wait to share them with you.  Thank you Maren and Theodore for allowing us to be a part of your day!

Real Weddings | Love in Ames

I am thrilled to share some beautiful pictures from a lovely bride and groom that we were fortunate enough to help with their day this past summer.  Kaylyn's colors were gold, champagne and ivory, which happens to be some of my favorite colors for an event, since white and ivory flowers are stunningly elegant in formal arrangements.   Her photographer was McClanahan Studio; a husband and wife duo that specializes in cutting edge photography. 

 

 

This wedding was a study in romance and love.  The couple's story is one that was shared with all of their guests through their Ceremony and later during the Reception.  Kaylynn wanted to surprise her new husband with the decor, so he was kept pretty much out of the loop.  I remember that when they first stole a look at the room before their guests, he turned to his new bride and said with a wide-eyed look, "You did all of this?"  They both loved the day that they had created for each other. 

Special touches like the candy table, their beautiful cake filled with hydrangea blooms, crystals, and candlelight filled their day with style that they loved sharing with each of their guests.
